EASTLAKE COUNTRY CLUB (1991)

SAN DIEGO REGION

Public - 18 hole -cost: $33 - $72

2375 Clubhouse Drive, Chula Vista, CA 91915

Tel: (619) 482-5757

Designed by Ted Robinson. Eastlake is a relatively short rolling residential course whose small multi-terraced greens make scoring a bit tougher than you might image. From San Diego (about 15 miles south to the course): Take I-805 south, exit on Telegraph Canyon Road, and head east about six miles. Turn right on Eastlake Parkway and take the second left on Clubhouse Drive. The clubhouse is on the left. In the scheme of things, Eastlake is a pretty average San Diego area layout dominated by housing and its trademark Ted Robinson-designed water features.

EATON CANYON GOLF COURSE (1959)

LOS ANGELES REGION

Municipal: 9 hole -cost: $10 - $16

1150 North Sierra Madre Villa Avenue, Pasadena, CA 91107

Tel: (626) 794-6n3

Designed by William F. Bell. The course heads downhill for the first two holes, then works its way back up the hill to the clubhouse. Tree-lined with lateral water hazards on two holes, Eaton Canyon requires accuracy around and on the greens. The greens tend to break away from the mountain. From downtown Los Angeles (about 17 miles northeast to the course): Take the Pasadena Freeway (I-110) north to I-210 east. Exit at Madre and head north one mile. Turn right on Sierra Madre Villa Avenue. There are signs.
